Jim Wilson wrote this, though I couldn't read it...must be some sort of mime-thing, which I have long forgotten.

You know, when I first started to read this "Vignette" my first thought was that this had no business being in the Fractint forum. However, reading on, I became quite impressed by this verbal fractal Most posts are graphics pars or formulae, can't remember if,or when, anybody offered a music par. This is a something different...now if only Morgan could incorporate some verbal recursion, this might constitute a new Fractal form, requiring a different type of formula. Could we soon be posting .vig files? If so, then nobody woud feel the need to plead for brevity After all, what is a brief fractal?

Anyway, I have a few music pars, or as I prefer, fractal tone-poems, which I have been reluctant to let see the light of day - especially since our beloved par-rater extrordinaire once declared that *any* music par had a maximum possible rating of 2. I won't bother trying to rate them...Lee Skinner says that Fugue_on_y_minor sounds like "farts" on his speakers and Chaos_City hurts his ears. A couple of them may have been included in a version of Fractint...if so, sorry for the duplicate. There are a few idiosyncrasies involved with sound pars. Resolution often affects the sounds, so most of these pars force one of the standard Fractint video modes, SF5(640x480), SF7(1024x768), and one SF9(1280x1024). If SF9 gives you a problem, use 1280x1024x256 disk video. If you have changed your config file, choose your corresponding res for each par, please. Some of these are "multimedia" ie. the image is part of the show - Lotus, for instance, (usually and good image is just an accident)...others either have no image or are drawn so slowly that there might as well not be one. Lastly, but very important. These are OPL3 chip compatible. That includes most soundcards, but *NOT* the SBLive!, which has an EMU10K chip. Other SB cards, or SB compatibles will give the proper sounds as far as I know. Often the SBLive will indeed play something from these pars, but it is totally different in most cases. I do have some SBLive! compatible pars if someone wants. Oh yeah...some of these get to a point where they are no longer interesting or repetitious but others get more interesting later in. Be sure to let Boo! and Lotus run to conpletion though.
